DELL PowerEdge R650 1U 10-Bay 2x Xeon Gold 5317 64GB DDR4 H755 2x 1400W

Compact 1U rack server for dense compute

The Dell PowerEdge R650 is a 1U rack server built for data-centre workloads that demand high processor density in minimal space. It ships with two Intel Xeon Gold 5317 processors, each running 12 cores at 3.0 GHz with a 3.6 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes 64 GB of DDR4-2933 registered ECC memory across four 16 GB modules. Dual 1400 W platinum power supplies and iDRAC9 Enterprise remote management are standard.

Upgrade from single-socket or older 14G platforms

Moving from a single-processor server or a 14th-generation PowerEdge doubles the socket count and moves to 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable architecture. The jump is worthwhile when virtualisation host density, database throughput or private-cloud node count are limited by core count or memory bandwidth. The PERC H755 controller with 8 GB NV cache adds RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 support for faster array rebuilds and write performance.

Ten 2.5-inch bays with 2 TB memory ceiling

Ten hot-swap 2.5-inch trays accept SAS, SATA and NVMe drives, letting you mix capacity and speed tiers for the workload. Memory scales to 2 TB across 32 DDR4 slots, so headroom remains for future VM growth or in-memory databases. The quad-port 1 GbE OCP 3.0 card handles baseline connectivity; heavier network or GPU demands will require additional PCIe Gen4 cards.
